Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Rub the halved chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder. Place in a roasting pan and pour piri piri sauce over the chicken.

Roast the Chicken

Roast the chicken in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the skin is crispy.

Prepare the Yams

While the chicken is roasting, in a medium pot, boil the cubed yams until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add brown sugar and a pinch of salt, then mash the yams until smooth. Set aside.

Roast the Brussel Sprouts

In a bowl, toss the halved brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast in the same oven for about 20-25 minutes until they are golden and crispy.

Serve

Once the chicken is done, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Serve the chicken with a generous portion of candied yams and roasted brussel sprouts on the side.
